Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 150 is one of those rare models that are especially admired in the lineup of even the most popular manufacturer. Such cars live their own lives - they are called by a name that does not contain the name of a famous brand. It is rare to hear someone call a model by its full name - Toyota Land Cruiser. Most often, either Prado or Land Cruiser are mentioned.
The owners of this SUV just need to pronounce the name of their car in a somewhat casual tone: "Prado" or "Land Cruiser" to demonstrate their high status and ambition. In fact, this car perfectly characterizes the excellent taste of its owner, who above all appreciates quality, breed, comfort and pragmatism. Immediately after the appearance of the Land Cruiser, they began to stand out noticeably among their "relatives" - SUVs.far from middle class. In 1990, the Cruiser line split into "commercial" and "comfort and light". The latter acquired the additional name Prado, the origin of which is not known for certain. Whether it is somehow related to the consonant name of the model house, or with the Italian word for "meadow", which symbolizes the amazing ability of an SUV to cope with bumpy off-road driving.
A significant moment in the history of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 150 is the fact that this is the first diesel modification that officially appeared in Russia. Some dissatisfaction among Prado fans was caused by the fact that the figure of the car has undergone significant changes - compared to the tightened copies of the previous 120th version, it looks somewhat swollen and thickened. The reason for the weighted appearance of the car was also an elongated rear spoiler, a sharper outline of the wheel arches, a deepened hood, which, however, is typical for the entire updated line of the Land Cruiser 2012.
Slightly increased seating height in the car can, if necessary, be adjusted using an adjustable air suspension, which allows you to make the process of boarding and disembarking passengers comfortable. The interior design of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 150 has also undergone changes. It was equipped with a navigation unit with a touchscreen, a separate climate control system, an audio system unit that supports MP3 and DVD and has a 6-disc changer. In addition, there are entrances in the arm boxiPod, USB and AUX.
The most significant change is the disappearance of the mechanical differential lock lever, which has been replaced by an electronic button. But fans of driving in the sandy desert or marshland should not worry - Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 150 is still equipped with a Torsen mechanical limited slip differential. Only the system that controls it has changed.
Passengers in the back seat can now feel even slightly more comfortable than those in the front. They can independently use a separate climate control system, and at their disposal - an impressive sofa with adjustable backrest, comfortable armrests and cup holders.
The modified glazing, which began to look neater, also makes a good impression. Now it has ceased to look like an aquarium, even if the windows are not tinted. The new tailgate is also well thought out, giving a complete and clear look to a symmetrical object. The handle that opens the fifth door is now invisible - it was hidden in a niche for the license frame.
